[外電] Suns-Mavericks Preview
Suns-Mavericks Preview
The Dallas Mavericks' defense has struggled over the last two games. Coach
Rick Carlisle's team could get tested again if the high-scoring Phoenix Suns
can repeat their most recent effort.
Dallas goes for its sixth straight home win over the Suns, who begin a
potentially difficult three-game trip.
小牛最近兩場比賽防守表現不理想，卡帥說明天碰上很會得分的太陽將是一大考驗，
小牛目前對太陽拿下主場五連勝，而太陽則是要展開艱苦的三場客場旅程。
Since holding their opponents to 93.0 points and 43.4 percent shooting during
a 12-game winning streak from Nov. 20-Dec. 11, the Mavericks (20-5) have
allowed an average of 100.5 points on 48.5-percent shooting in the last two
contests.
Dallas wasted a 20-point first-half lead in Monday's 103-99 loss to
Milwaukee, and nearly let a 17-point third-quarter edge slip away Wednesday
before holding on for a 103-98 victory over Portland.
在12連勝期間，小牛把對手壓低到平均93分、命中率43.4%的漂亮成績，但最近兩場
平均掉了100.5分，對手命中率高達48.5%，小牛在連勝被公鹿終結的比賽中浪費了
高達20分的領先優勢，對上拓荒者又差點把第三節17分的領先玩掉。
"We circled the wagons and got it together," Carlisle said after his team
held the Trail Blazers to a pair of field goals in the final 2:59 and
improved to 4-1 on a season-high six-game homestand.
Meanwhile, Suns coach Alvin Gentry was pleased how his team pulled itself out
of a season high-tying three-game slide with Wednesday's 128-122 victory over
lowly Minnesota. Phoenix (12-12) hit 15 3-pointers and shot 50.6 percent from
the field as seven players scored in double figures.
卡帥賽後說："我們同心協力，最後終於順利奪勝。"小牛最後2分59秒只讓拓荒者再
進2球，讓小牛得以在本季最長的主場六連戰中拿到4勝1敗的成績。與此同時，太陽
主帥Alvin Gentry則是很慶幸球隊擺脫了平本季最長的三連敗，昨天他們以128-122
打敗西區後段班的灰狼，太陽砍進15顆三分彈，命中率達到50.6%，有七位球員得分
達雙位數。
"Right now, it's the best thing that could have happened to us," said Gentry,
whose team also travels to Oklahoma City and San Antonio on this trip. "We
just needed a win."
The Suns also need to improve a defense yielding a league-worst 110.0 points
per game.
Gentry說："對我們來說，贏球對我們是最好的，我們只需要一勝。"太陽接下來將
要做客雷霆與馬刺，太陽也需要加強防守來擺脫聯盟最差的場均110.0失分。
Having center Robin Lopez back may help. With Lopez in the lineup Wednesday
after missing 14 games with a sprained left knee, the Suns outrebounded the
league's best rebounding team by seven.
While he was out, Phoenix was outrebounded by at least that amount seven
times.
中鋒Robin Lopez的歸隊或許會有幫助，他因為左膝扭傷連續缺陣了14場，不過他的
歸隊讓太陽上一戰比聯盟最會抓籃板的灰狼還多拉下七個籃板球。但當他不在時，
太陽也有七次至少被多搶超過七個籃板。
"I'm really excited to continue to play with Robin and he did a good job
tonight," said Channing Frye, who grabbed a team-high nine boards and hit a
career high-tying seven 3s. "He really helped out (with 12 points and eight
rebounds). ... It's kind of easier to get up and pressure a little more when
you got Big Fella back there."
Frye and Grant Hill might need that help trying to slow down Dirk Nowitzki
and Caron Butler.
Frye說："我對於能與Robin一起打球感到很興奮，他今晚做的很好。他真的對我們很
有幫助(12分8籃板)，當禁區的大個子回來之後，壓力就減輕許多。"Frye抓下全隊最
多的九個籃板，也砍下平生涯最多的七顆三分彈。Frye與Hill明天也需要這樣的幫助
來對抗Dirk與Butler。
Nowitzki, averaging a team-high 25.0 points, has shot 63.1 percent from the
field over the last seven games, while Butler is coming off a season
high-tying 23-point effort against Portland. He scored nine straight for
Dallas in the third quarter.
"He has no fear of big shots and big situations," Carlisle said.
In his second game after being acquired in a trade with Washington, Butler
had 15 points during the Suns' last visit to Dallas, a 107-97 Mavericks win
on Feb. 17. That victory sparked the Mavericks' season-best 13-game winning
streak.
Dirk以平均25.0分做為小牛的得分王，近七戰命中率高達63.1%，Butler上一戰也以
平本季最高的23分跳出來支援，他第三節攻下了9分。卡帥說："他對於關鍵時刻的
投籃毫無畏懼。”在他去年被交易到小牛的第二場出賽就是面對太陽，Butler攻下
15分，小牛以107-97取勝，也是小牛之後13連勝的開端。
Steve Nash, who had a season-high 19 assists Wednesday, is averaging 17.8
points with 11.2 assists in the Suns' last five games in Dallas.
Mavericks point guard Jason Kidd, the only active player with more assists
than Nash, had 18 points, 10 assists and a career-high seven steals in the
Feb. 17 victory.
Suns leading scorer Jason Richardson averaged 20.3 points on 51.0 percent
shooting as Phoenix dropped two of three to the Mavericks in 2009-10.
Nash昨天傳出本季新高的19助攻，他在最近五次面對小牛時平均攻下17.8分11.2助攻，
小牛的控衛Kidd是現役球員中唯一比Nash助攻還多的人，他在前一次與太陽的交手時
拿到18分10助攻以及生涯最多的7抄截。太陽的得分王Jason Richardson平均每場可
以攻下20.3分，也有51.0%的命中率，太陽去年面對小牛三戰輸了兩場。
明天外線一定要守好!! 籃板也請兩位中鋒好好鞏固啊
Let's Go Mavs!!
